First of all, this government has not created a growth oriented policy. They have shrunken into a little huddled ball on the floor of their bedrooms, weeping miserably that they screwed Canada by wasting a huge surplus. Secondly, the annual growth rate (GDP) is miniscule - with more potential tough times (Tory times?) ahead... The EU economic challenges, rooted in the PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Spain) economic collapses WILL have an impact on Canada, and even Canadian banks.

Then there will be surpluses.All banks are calling for much larger growth than Kevin Page is.The Government is too big already.No taxes will help and slashing transfers will not help. When the surplusses come in time, then talk about program additions.For now any new program should come at the expense of the least effective current program. I can not afford 1 more dollar of tax and my province and municipality can not afford 1 dollar of offloading.bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322901865221961027noreply@blogger.com
